My father was a war time fighter pilot stationed at Kenley (and other airfields throughout the war). I spent many happy years instructing in gliders from this venue and there were definitely times when the atmosphere of the place could make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. Anyone who honours the bravery of the war time aviators (particularly flypasts by genuine warbirds) gets my support when conducted with respect to safety.

regards
wizzy
